WE have recently received some letters from our friends and I'd like to share them.

From :iconmjriv1 We have some photos of their garden and some tips provided in the photos information section. For all our gardeners it might be worth taking a look. :3

"A bit ago I posted about some gardening attempts I had started.
Here is the follow up for those interested in what I am growing and how.

Lastly, a reply from  yelleena when I posted this journal: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/3808556/ Many times we forget that just because it's a certain season, event, or holiday here, doesn't mean the same is happening in other parts of the world. I love the insight and learning from her comments. :3

"Ah what is the start of Autum or Fall for you all in the nothern hemisphere is the a time of new begining for me in Australia in the southern hemisphere.

For us the almond trees have blossomed several weeks ago and set their almonds, the peacharine, and apricot is covered in blossom. The plum trees are giving us showers of pink petals as the wind blows the blooms about. nigts are coldish and days are beginning to be blessed with blue skys and sunshine. The day time temp is slowly increasing. Won't be long and the magpies will be swooping. There is still rain about here and there and we save what we can for the garden as summer creeps ever closer. Its a time of planting tomatoes, zucchini, herbs, cucumbers and lots of baasil. New leaves have begun to push through on bare branches and the bottle brush tree is paused on the brink of bursting into great red bracts of flowers. Won't be long before the parrots will gather and enjoy the nectar of the blooms. Noisy but a delight to watch from my front window.

What's going on for Australia varies from state to state and culture to culture.

We have just celebrated the Almond Blossom festival in Mclaren Vale, SA Australia.

Right now on Sunday 2nd its our Father's Day Celebrations and family are getting together celebrating all things dad related. On sunday I will at some point light a candle for my dad and put a piece of rosemary near his picture. My mate will buy his dad some McDonalds pancakes for his breakfast and drop off a card and gift. For me it is a time of rememberance and time of precious memories as I was born on the 4th of septemeber in a year that was also fathers day at the time. My mother told me they made in to the hospital in the early hours of father's day and at 2AM my father didn't even have the heart to smack me on the bum to start me breathing. I loved him very very much and a day doesn't go by without me missing him.

We sometimes get the odd trick or treater come to our door on halloween but it isn't widely celebrated. I generally buy a coule of packs of lollies, put out a sign that trick and treaters are welcome and if any show up share what I have. I've had several years when no one came and others that I've had a couple of kids come arround.

What's going on personally, I celebrate my 46th birthday shortly, I'm putting in the last of my assignments and school will be winding up for a two week break then four weeks of school and I'm on holidays till next year end of January. Got a few seminars here and there on diabetes to attend if I want to. October November sees the medical appointments wind up until January which is a much needed break.

We don't have many holidays before christmas only the odd local one or two. It varies from state to state in Australia as to when and what the local holiday is.

Hope your halloween is fun, safe and enjoyable *hugs*"
